About
Join Pontefract Civic Society on an exploration of the architecture in Pontefract town centre. Hear about some of the architectural styles and architects that created the diverse range of buildings in the heart of the town.
Pontefract town centre’s buildings have a range of architectural styles and influences, including the Medieval, Georgian, Queen Anne Revival, Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Brutalist.
There have been a wide variety of architects that have plied their trade in the town, some of high esteem and nationally recognised, some regional, others local, including a prolific pair. A DIY architect produced positive results, whilst there was also a nationally infamous one – well this is Pontefract!
